> [@Arussell](#): > > Great tutorial, but where a darker shirt next time I agree. Yellow string on white wall didn’t really work either. Three more things (all of which are related to your text): 1. Spelling and Punctuation. For the most part, it was good, but there were a few mistakes in there. It did make understanding the trick a little confusing at times, which is why I’m mentioning it. 2. “Side View.” When you play the clip, we’ll be able to figure our that it’s a view from the side. Stuff like that just makes it a really long tutorial. You also don’t want anything to detract from the learning experience. Alot of people do that, thought, that’s just my personal preference. 3. NEVER use the words “right” and “left.” Throwhand (or TH) and Non-Throwhand (NTH). Not everyone is right handed, and using right and left is really confusing for lefties, making your tutorial inaccessible to alot of people. Notwithstanding, as stated above, it was a very good tutorial. These are just a couple of nitpicky things. You’re doing great stuff man, keep them coming 🙂 ---

These are just a couple of nitpicky things. You’re doing great stuff man, keep them coming 🙂 I didn’t even think about the whole right and left handed thing thanks for bringing that up man. But as for the whole t shirt thing I really saw nothing wrong with it and half the time the string had my wall for the background not my T shirt. Just something for people to say was wrong with the video :P. ---

I just watched it, very nice sir! I do agree with the people that have already commented that the string could have been more visible at parts, but for the majority of the time, I thought it was clear enough. I was also very impressed by your description. You were deliberate in making sure the viewer knew what was supposed to happen in each move, which is important. Good work man; you should keep making tutorials. Oh and by the way… I won’t get into it, but I figured out how in the world I got to the random Billy Mays video the first time I tried to watch your tutorial. Just saying. haha ---

Just saying. haha I don’t want to sound weird or anything, but it means a lot to me that you liked my video. After all I have learned most of my tricks from you, I can’t wait to see more of your stuff in the future. Also it would be soooooo sweet if you did a video of you just yoyoing, I would pay money to watch that! Thanks for the kind words, Adam N
